And support from the arab league. and i think what you re seeing now amongst the rebels is a little better organization. one of the good things that s happened is we found the thousand soldiers or so that defected. they are getting organized and interfacing with the rebels, getting them more tactically oriented. the pressure on the gadhafi regime is intense. the foreign minister has defected. they are treating him well. he s providing valuable information to the british and the united states and to the rebels. at this point just by the fact he s cooperating and being treat well, the pressure on the regime and more defections, i do believe, will follow in adding pressure. you heard senator durbin talk about pressure on the regime. the wall street journal argued for a robust unified voice from republicans saying republicans ought to prod president obama to push for a faster resolution that ends with toppling of gadhafi and his sons from power.
Military success as well? reporter: it would certainly reach their first gain, which is getting rid of gadhafi. then the focus shifts on the transitional government. they say they will right up with the constitution. it is not clear how that will happen. i think it is too premature to talk about the toppling of gadhafi. as the forces push west, you can expect the resistance to firm up. when you talk about misrata, there is fierce fighting going on over there. that is a city east of tripoli. if it is captured, it is a staging ground for the final push to tripoli. i think it is a little too early to talk about tripoli in the fall of the gadhafi regime. the opposition forces have made significant progress over the last several days. key in the progress is the air strikes by the coalition forces. reza sayah, thank you so
